I've recently been reading a lot of information about how the world of work has changed. It's not what it used to be, not by a long shot. I was reading things from perhaps around a decade ago and they've aged incredibly well because they still feel relevant today. The general gist was that the … Continue reading Less compliance, more innovation

How I changed my mind?
Around 10 years ago I realised that something needed to change. I was dissatisfied with most areas of my life and felt stuck in my circumstances.

So, I started trying … Continue reading How I changed my mind?
What does the moment call for?
Some issues are born out of stubbornness or resistance and you might not even realise it. Maybe you're someone that is naturally quiet and reserved.

Putting yourself last creates the opportunity for you to be ignored, dismissed and generally treated poorly. You show up as a people pleaser, someone who is afraid to be seen and say what they really want. Putting yourself last can also be about wanting to be perceived as a 'good' person. You think it benefits … Continue reading The problem with putting yourself last
The freedom to be
What does life look like without being crippled by anxiety when making decisions? What does life feel like when you want to do something and you just do it?
